New under-the-nose mask for breathing support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new non-invasive ventilation mask that fits under the nose. The goal is to see if the mask is comfortable and works well for people who are already stable on NIV therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years old or older.
- You are currently using non-invasive ventilation (NIV) — a machine that helps you breathe — and are stable on it.
- You can wear a mask that fits over just your nose (a sub-nasal mask).
- You do not need very high pressure settings (under 30 cmH2O) on your CPAP or BiPAP machine.
- You are not pregnant and can tolerate the NIV treatment for the length of the study.

This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
This study compares two types of breathing support—a high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation—to see which one better prevents the need for re-inserting a breathing tube in people with systolic heart failure who are at high risk for breathing problems after the tube is removed.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose, combined with non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe without a tube down your throat), can help patients with sudden severe breathing problems. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
This study tests a new type of breathing mask that helps your lungs take in more air by clearing stale air from the mask. If you are already in the ICU using a breathing mask, this could make your breathing support more effective.
This study tests different masks used for non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) to see how they affect breathing in healthy adults. It might help people who need this kind of support at home or in the hospital.
This study tests a new type of face mask for people with severe COPD flare-ups who are already getting breathing support. The goal is to see if this mask helps reduce carbon dioxide levels in the blood better than the usual mask.
